Ten-X Named One of the Housing Industry's Most Innovative Tech Companies for the Third Consecutive Year

HousingWire also selects Ten-X as winner of its Market Potential category for the second straight year due to the company’s expansion into new markets and development of mobile solutions

IRVINE AND SILICON VALLEY, CALIF. – March 28, 2016 – Ten-X (formerly Auction.com), the nation’s leading online real estate marketplace, has been named to HousingWire Magazine’s 2016 HW Tech100™ list for the third consecutive year. Ten-X is joined by other housing technology innovators such as CoreLogic, RealtyTrac and Accenture Mortgage Cadence. The company’s expansion into the traditional residential real estate market and development of industry-leading mobile products also earned it the Market Potential award for the second year in a row.

Ten-X recently rebranded from Auction.com to reflect a shift from the company’s history as a disposition engine for distressed assets to an open online marketplace where buyers, sellers and real estate professionals can safely and easily complete real estate transactions. At the recently-completed SXSW Interactive, Ten-X introduced two new platforms: Ten-X Homes, which focuses on move-in ready single family homes; and Ten-X Commercial, a marketplace for commercial real estate sales. These platforms join the company’s Auction.com platform, where the sale of more than 200,000 properties – totaling over $37 billion in transactions - have already been executed.

Both Ten-X Homes and Ten-X Commercial offer online auctions and new, non-auction transaction processes that take traditional offline transactions and incorporate technology to make them easier, much more efficient, and exponentially more transparent.

“Our new Ten-X platforms offer the first true end-to-end online transactions for buyers, sellers agents and brokers who want to trade high quality, non-distressed assets," said Ten-X Chief Executive Officer Tim Morse. "As real estate moves online, we launched these platforms to reach a wider audience and deliver a better way for people to buy and sell real estate, and we are honored that HousingWire has recognized Ten-X to be at the forefront of this movement.”

Throughout 2015, Ten-X met the evolving needs of the online real estate marketplace with key acquisitions and partnerships. In May of last year, Ten-X partnered with Juwai, the top site for Chinese-language real estate buyers, to expand the company's international buyer pool. The company also purchased Channel Software and Allre, two companies whose technology enabled Ten-X to accelerate its entry into the traditional, non-distressed residential real estate market.

“The companies in the HW TECH100™ are providing innovative solutions to the traditionally hide-bound mortgage finance industry,” said HousingWire Editor-in-Chief Jacob Gaffney. “In the face of rising costs to originate and service loans, a still-volatile housing market and multiplying regulations, these innovations are crucial to the survival and profitability of those in our industry.”
